From Disbelief to ”The Competition” (2011)
In 2011, a discussion about music erupted at work. Some colleagues hailed Basshunter as a great artist. I disagreed, asserting that replicating his style was quite easy. Skeptical, my colleagues’ doubt spurred the creation of ”The Competition.”
Initially titled ”T.R.I.T.” – our shared working title referencing my IT company, abbreviated to TR – I renamed the tune to ”The Competition” to avoid potential release issues years later. The cover image, depicting a company competition from January 2014, aligns perfectly with the song’s origins.
Basshunter is known for his upbeat, dance-oriented Eurodance tracks with catchy melodies and repetitive, energetic beats. However, the resulting track diverged significantly from his distinct style, evolving into something uniquely its own. Despite this, I successfully demonstrated that it’s possible to create music that is as good as or better than Basshunter’s, depending on personal taste.
